Question

If $30$% of the workers in a company are male and the number of female workers are $201$, find the total number of workers and number of male workers.

Answer 1

Let the total number of worker be $x$

Percentage of female $=15\%$

Percentage of male $=(100-15)=85\%$

Number of males $=85\%$ of $x$

$85\%$ of $x=272$

$x=272\times \frac{100}{85}$

$x=320$

$\therefore$ Total number of worker in factory is $320.$

Hence, the answer is $320.$
